The 66th primetime Emmy Awards got underway at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles tonight. As you might expect, going to any awards show takes hours upon hours of primping, cutting, washing, spit-shining and day-drinking before appearing in front of millions of people. Some stars take the easy route and have handlers doing all the work for them; some like to play it cool and do things themselves. And some procrastinate as long as possible, which is obviously the key to a good panic attack.

The good news is, many of the stars have shared their award-day rituals on Instagram and Twitter – click through to see their photos.
